They not only got the chance to meet each other (because I don’t think that Dirk and Roxy physically met yet) but they also got to meet the rest of their friends and actually touch a human being.

Roxy would absolutely be ecstatic about it.  And I know that while Dirk was in business mode, he would totally be glowing on the inside too.

Basically, these kids need more hugs.

Troll Rank Alpha 1

New troll rank, new tags, this time with LEGIT ALPHA TROLLS.

1. Porrim

2. Meenah

3. Aranea

4. Kankri

5. Latula

Meeting more trolls here is a dream come true. Man do I love these guys.

Porrim is so fucking cool. Fucking Gothic Vampire Queen. Chill, mature, fights for her rights as a woman and against gender roles. Rocking tattoos, piercings, another badass fashionista. God she is a fucking dream. Not only that, but she speaks her mind, and doesn’t put up with bullshit. And she also has another mothering instinct in her, like Kanaya, and a need to care for Kankri, while not putting up with his shit. I love that. I love her. I need more of her please yes thanks.

Meenah is still second, and Aranea is third, and pretty easy to explain. Meenah is a fun wild card, has a plan and will take charge and follow her plan. Which involves violence and explosions. I respect those things when pointed in the right direction (like Lord English’s Turtle head). Plus, it is fun to watch her act so baller.

Aranea is fun to be with, loves to tell stories, and is overall really nice. Of course I would love her. But Meenah’s excentric nature and Porrim’s aura of cool tops her.

Kankri. Fucking love him. He is such a doof. He is fucking cute in looks. He goes on about his culture’s peace problems (fucking knew there would be problems), genuinely cares about the issues of marginalization that he is talking about. (Anyone who can talk that much has to care). Is concern with keeping with trigger warnings (which I appreciate). He wants to be a “big boy” and taken seriously when he talks, only to really just be a kid. It is just so cute overall.

So why 4th? First, I just like the other trolls better. A lot.

Second, yeah he can be a bit of a self-entitled ass. Like praising how Latula managed to live her life without smelling and pointing it out like how she is able to live her life, when Latula didn’t really like her life being pointed out like that and making her feel self-conscious.

Or pushing aside Porrim’s feelings on her gender issues because they weren’t as important as the other issues. Not saying that there weren’t a lot of problems to address, just that he could have had some tact addressing other people’s feelings and not force feed his own hero-complex to everyone.

So, I love the Karkat things about him (rage-face, in-depth lectures on his topics), but he can learn not to be the SJW negative stereotype here.

Finally, Latula. She reminds me a lot of Dippy Fresh. Like, she is the stereotype fun rad cool guy, but by leaning it in on how rad she is, she isn’t as cool. I don’t know, she seems fine. Enjoys life and doesn’t take it too seriously, so I don’t exactly hate her. But I don’t exactly like her either.

Part 250 End

Oh god another video. Probably the game with Meenah again. That was fun, but damn was that long.

Point in order.

Meenah wants the army of ghosts, which I support. But given how English demolished the ghosts before, I don’t think it will work.

The kids still are adorable and fun to watch/read. Hussie lurking in the dream over being rejected by Vriska is funny/weird. Pitiful is the right word for it.

The Alpha-Trolls are amazing right now. I do not remember all the nAames so bare with me here.

Kanaya is a Goth Model in the Alpha world. God damn was she cool. Punk vampire badass fashion babe who fights against the patriarchy. Amazing.

And her telling Meenah that she became a slave and a pawn was hilarious too.

Lepeta (i think *shrugs*) is like Terry-Fresh. The rad hip non-sniff Terezi. Who punctuates every sentence with a high-five. I don’t remember who’s last name ends with T, so I guess it will be a surprise to see.

And FUCKING Kankri. The Social Justice Warrior that has good ideas but can sometimes go fucking way too far. Fucking love him. He is just a clean-mess, a dumb but endearing child. 

He speaks in 69 too. Like, nice.

And I was fucking Right on pointing out that Beforia (really Hussie? Really?) also could have had problems. It took me sympathizing with a murder fish to realize that, but still.

I would Absolutely love to read about Beforia;s problems.

Karkat using Jade’s password as his own password. He wants to keep remembering her, that is so sweet.

And John is losing it on the ship, missing everyone and wanting to leave. I can’t tell if he passed out due to rage, or if maybe Vriska forced him to sleep. I hope he has some interesting dreams here.
